She's back ... this Saturday sees the racing return of Australia's champion galloper, Winx, in Randwick's Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes (1600m).

The mare will be breaking new ground by tackling the mile first up, but so awesome did she look in her between-race barrier trial recently that bookies wound her in from $1.20 to $1.15 for the Chipping Norton.

Is she vulnerable? Probably not.

Elsewhere, Victoria's Festival of Racing moves to Flemington for Australian Guineas day, the SA stayers have their final Adelaide Cup tune-up in the Lord Reims and there's black type at Doomben too.

Our form coverage kicks off on Friday with full form guides for the Moonee Valley and Canterbury night meetings plus Swan Hill during the day, as well as fields, colours and selections for Friday's six other TAB meetings.

The metro racing this Saturday is at Flemington in Melbourne, Randwick in Sydney, Morphettville in Adelaide, Doomben in Brisbane and Ascot in Perth.

Winning Post carries full-colour liftout guides for all those meetings plus Wangaratta (Vic/SA/Tas edition), Wyong (NSW edition) and Gold Coast (Queensland edition), as well as fields, tips, ratings and/or colours for other TAB Saturday cards.

On Sunday we've got liftout formguides for four more TAB meetings including Wangaratta Cup day plus fields, ratings, tips and colours for a stack more Sunday and Monday programs.

Don't forget Winning Post now carries trackwork reports for all four Melbourne training tracks, all three in Sydney, Morphettville in Adelaide and a general Brisbane report.

Away from the form, we've got news columns from Queensland, NSW, six Victorian districts, SA and Tasmania.

Our readers have their say on page 4, while further back in the book Shane Templeton reminisces, Paul Richards presents his unique take on the sport, Tony Kneebone brings you his Snippets column and Number Cruncher delivers the stats that matter.

Winning Post costs $5 and is available Thursday afternoon in selected Ballarat newsagents, the crack of dawn Friday elsewhere.
